This is the old version I have got. Some of the parts were 3d printed using the[……]

Initial is a 40-cm humanoid robot. Its used for testing of running ROS on single board computer, Odroid U3, which talks to a low level controller board for controlling servo motors via serial port. It is also equipped with an HD camera, and the video stream can be transported to the laptop via wifi.[……]
